IMO, for the rear wheel drive chain do not use ATF, Motor oil, G4 or G5 Hypoid gear lube, or similar oils.

They all will fling off when the bike is ridden.

Most motorcycle chain lubes when first applied will dry in place leaving a  protective lubricant down in the working areas of the chain.

If one does not give the motorcycle specific chain lube a chance to "dry", it will be flung off just like the regular oils.
